N.J. Admin. Code § 13:35-11.2
The Board shall establish a committee to review matters involving practitioners suffering from chemical dependencies or other impairments. This committee shall be comprised of five members to include: two members of either the Board or the Panel, to be appointed by the Board President; two individuals representing approved professional assistance programs which provide services to at least one third of the ARP participants; and one individual designated by the Commissioner of Health, who is acceptable to both the Board President and the individuals representing approved professional assistance programs. This committee shall be known as the Impairment Review Committee ("IRC") and shall meet on a regular basis. The Medical Director of the Board and the Executive Director of the Board shall serve as staff to the IRC and shall be available to assist the IRC at its meetings. With regard to independent referrals (not made by an approved professional assistance program), the Executive Director shall provide the IRC with all of the information, including the identity of the licensee about whom the referral has been made, which was provided with the referral, along with any information concerning concurrent investigations or consumer complaints relating to the licensee. With respect to those referrals made by approved professional assistance programs, the Executive Director shall advise the IRC of any information concerning concurrent investigations or consumer complaints, without disclosing the identity of the licensee, so that the IRC will be in a position to assess whether participation in the program is appropriate.
